Indonesia Rejecting Sharia?
It's interesting to note that many Muslim countries living under secular authoritarians are turning toward Islamism and the imposition of sharia law to save them. But wherever sharia is in place, Muslims see the ruling clerics as the problem. In Iran, for instance, the movement is toward secularism. In Egypt, towards the Islamist vision.

Trading in one form of totalitarianism for another is no solution.

Unfortunately, totalitarianism is the only form of government that muslims can understand or respect, and history will show us the folly of our attempts to cast our pearls before swine. Saddam Hussein didn't terrorize his own people because he got off on it - he did it because it was the only way to make them behave. Muslims are either at your feet or at your throat, and cannot behave as civilized people. We screwed up bigtime when we liberated Kuwait from Saddam; we should have let him have the whole region and just kept him on our side, but as things are now, we have traded bad for worse.

I hope you're wrong but I'm afraid you're right.
